Monks, the new freedom fighters!
Comments (3)In Myanmar, or Burma, the citizens are facing an enormous catastrophe due to increasing military control over the populace. What is more than this is that Buddhist monks seem to be targeted now as they continue to lead rebellions and anti-government protests. May divine providence shine down upon these warriors of peace!

PS – Forget the U.S. Marines, these Monks are the ones who deserve an oorah!
What Geneva Convention?

American Snipers Baiting Iraqis
What is interesting here is that the snipers are taking shots at “suspected” but not confirmed terrorists.

Leave a CommentIsrael and America love doing business
So there is an interesting article here that details the upcoming meetings about what to do with that little sliver of land called the Gaza Strip. Apparently, it looks to me like the Palestinians are going to get f’ed.
The US has mirrored the decision of Israel and declared the Gaza Strip to be a “hostile entity”.
Even though, the U.S. fails to realise that during the Lebanese / Israeli conflict recently, Hamas aided the civilians in Lebanon by helping them in their rebuilding and reconstruction. Will the Palestinians ever get their land back that was unjustly taken from them or is it still 1967?

While the U.S. becomes entangled in software patents, the world moves on…
This snippet, coming from the previous Stallman article, gives Richard Stallman’s view on software patents. It is important to note that software patents do not exist in many countries outside of the United States.
Microsoft has recently claimed that free software like Linux, OpenOffice and some e-mail programs violate 235 of its patents. But Microsoft also said it won’t sue for now. Is this the start of a new legal nightmare?
Stallman: Software patents – in those countries foolish enough to authorize them – are a legal nightmare for all software developers. About half of all patents in any field belong to mega-corporations, which gives them a chokehold on the technology. In countries that allow software patents, that happens in software too.

Richard Stallman on Free Software
Who is Richard Stallman? He is the founder of the Free Software Foundation which embodies the core principles found in Open Source, Free Software, and the operating system known as GNU/Linux. In this recent article Stallman asks the community if they will stand with him and fight for software freedom, or be too lazy to resist?
PS – If you are wondering what all of this is about, then get to it! Drop that proprietary Microsoft Windows operating system and get the real deal Holyfield. (Without loosing an ear even!)

If only hulk hogan were this macho.
“The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere.” –Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787.

Bush to withdraw troops…well, not really.
In USA Today there appeared a recent headline that George Bush was indeed going to withdraw, up to 30,000 troops, within the next six months. If anyone remembers correctly the “surge” placed an additional 22,000+ troops in the region than were there before. So basically, we are possibly going back to the old baseline of around 130-140 thousand troops. Hmm, I smell bullshit…
In other news there was an interesting article posted on Al-Jazeera at this address:
The article is speaking about innocent civilian deaths by direct, and indirect American actions. However, I will say that I am unsure if any other news sources are covering this story so you may either take that as Al-Jazeera is trying make this out to be more than it is, or that American news stations just doesn’t want you to think about that….it might just be despicable.
